Alan D. Sokal—Reveals the parody of “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity” and exposes the hoaxes within the first essay. He reveals how the “Social Text” editors revealed their arrogance.

"Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" — 3 years ago

Alan D. Sokal—“the original “parody” article, published in Social Text #46/47, pp. 217-252 (spring/summer 1996)”

An incredible display of mmm guts! ... but be sure you read about the results of this experiment. ...
